Walsall To Wolverhampton Rail Service
EDM number 2300 in 2007-08, proposed by Ken Purchase on 21/10/2008.
Categorised under the topic of Railways.
That this House notes with extreme concern the planned withdrawal of the Walsall to Wolverhampton passenger rail service from December 2008; further notes the service provides an important direct link for the people of Walsall and Wolverhampton, together with access to connecting rail services; is dismayed that the proposed withdrawal will take place despite the fact that use of the service has significantly increased and believes that London Midland are putting profit before people; further believes that the proposed cut clearly goes against the Government's policy of seeking to expand rail capacity and reduce carbon emissions from the transport sector; and calls on the Government to intervene to ensure that this service remains in operation.
This motion has been signed by a total of 20 MPs.
